I live near a working farm. I hope you pay more for your milk, meat and cereal living in a city.
A joke, obviously but in reality it's possible to live in the country and be surrounded by cabinets that are fibre-enabled when yours isn't. A relative's house is about 5m from overhead fibre feeding another cabinet but it's not connected to his. It's the apparent randomness that's a bit annoying. And I'd think the same stuff occurs in more densely populated areas too.
